Bonjour Carol - J'adore la tour eiffel and your new paintings! Reading this post today made me think of a post I wrote last year that I think you'd appreciate (http://antiquesdiva.blogspot.com/2008/08/reader-question-eiffel-tower-collection.html). When I moved from Paris all my friends gave me an Eiffel Tower to remember them by - it's a wonderful collection that makes me smile each time I see it!Great work as always!Toma

Wow, what a great blog! I especially love the picture of the Eiffel Tower macaroon and that pink paper Eiffel Tower - so creative! The Eiffel Tower is an amazing work of art, but you know, when it was first erected the Parisians hated it! Now it's making them millions of Euros every year through tourism! Go figure!
